About Native/American Apparel:
Bringing together artwork by contemporary Aboriginal artists, Lita Fontaine and KC Adams, alongside pieces from the Costume Museum of Canada’s permanent collection, Native/American Apparel looks at the relationship of fashion, clothing, and textiles to the representation of Indigenous identities. By juxtaposing historical artifacts with current artworks, this show encourages viewers to consider the role of the collection and exhibition of objects made by and about First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in galleries and museums - particularly those objects made by women.
